question Re: Ride Ataxia Nor Cal. (cheve11e)

Hum ... the ride starts & ends at the Nimbus Dam Recreation Area (I saw) and on the over-night ride we will be at "Navada County Camp Ground". Hum ... I 'think' I'll be flying in to Sacramento and it looks like I can ride the 'American River Bike Trail' all the way up to the Start of the ride. The Trail does continue up to Folsom Lake, but I did not see a trail to Navada County on Google Earth - nor did Google Earth have a 'Grass Valley' (that I saw) so I'm not sure of Kyle's route. But what I have seen of the American River Bike Trail (Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail) does look real good to me - via internet photo's & Blogs. Is anybody from this general area planing to go/ride or even like me maybe Flying in?

Spinner,
For the So. Cal. ride in November if Kyle chooses the SART trail There are two motels near the trail. The lesser motel is La Quinta and alittle better motel is the Marriat Countyard. They are 4 mile from John Wayne Airport and 50 miles from UCLA.
